2017/2018 School Community Council Meetings will be held on the second Thursday of each month from 8:15 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the conference room. We invite you to join us. Please contact our Edison office for more information about our School Community Council.

End-of-year Kindergarten assessment as administered by SLCSD. Percentage of students who are deemed ready for first grade.

Action Plan Steps

Edison will provide a .5 paraprofessional for each of four Kindergarten classes. These highly qualified and trained paraprofessionals will deliver the Early Reading Intervention program to all Kindergarten students with the goal of having all students 'score out' of the program before the end of the year. An additional para-professional will assist by preparing instructional materials for the Kindergarten classes so that the maximum amount of the instructional assistant's time can be spent working directly with students. All three of these employees will support students throughout the day providing interventions, small group instruction, monitoring student progress and supervising students during non-instructional times.

Edison will purchase iPad mini tablets for use in the kindergarten rooms to access Lexia and other educational programs used as part of the curriculum.

Action Plan Steps

All students in grades Kindergarten through First will use the software program Lexia as part of their daily reading instruction. The duration of each student's time will be established using program recommendations and progress will be monitored using program specific reports. Students will access Lexia in their regular classroom using iPad mini tablets and headphones. Students will also be able to access ST Math software. The teachers will also use small group instruction to reinforce skills that were missing during their time on Lexia. To have a successful small group time they will need classroom supplies including highlighters, journals, sentence strips, pocket charts, wiki sticks and others to be used during reading and writing instruction. We also buy iPads for kindergarten teachers to use in the classroom.

Rules of Order and Procedure

This template was developed at the request of schools and districts to meet a new requirement for school community councils to adopt Rules of Order and Procedure (53A-1a-108.1). The template may be reviewed and amended by councils to meet their needs or councils may develop their own.

To promote ethical behavior and civil discourse each council member shall:

Attend council meetings on time and prepared

Make decisions with the needs of students as the main objective

Listen to and value diverse opinions

Be sure the opinions of those you represent are included in discussions

Expect accountability and be prepared to be accountable

Act with integrity

Rules of Procedure:

All meetings are open to the public and the public is welcome to attend.

The agenda of each upcoming meeting with draft minutes of the prior meeting will be made available to all council members at least one week in advance, will be posted on the school website and made available in the main office. The agenda will include the date, time and location of the meeting.

Minutes will be kept of all meetings, prepared in draft format for approval at the next scheduled meeting.

The council will prepare a timeline for the school year that includes due dates for all required reporting and other activities/tasks that the council agrees to assume or participate in. The timeline will assist in preparation of agendas to be sure the council accomplishes their work in a timely manner.

The chair conducts the meetings, makes assignments and requests reports on assignments. In the absence of the chair the vice-chair shall conduct meetings.

Meetings shall be conducted and action taken according to very simplified rules of parliamentary procedure as required in 53A-1a-108.1(9)(i). Items on the agenda take priority over other discussions coming before the council. Council action will be taken by motions and voting with votes and motions recorded in the minutes.

A motion (or an action to be taken by the council) is stated as a motion. Someone else on the council “seconds” the motion indicating that at least one other person on the council feels the motion is worthy of discussion. Then the council members may provide input and discussion as called upon by the chair. When discussion seems complete the chair may call for a vote on the motion. Or when a member of the council “calls the previous question” (a motion to end discussion of the first motion), a second is required and then, without discussion the chair calls for a vote that must pass by 2/3. If the vote on the previous question fails the council goes back to discussing the first motion. If the motion to call the previous question passes, the chair directly calls for a vote on the first motion. A vote to call the previous question is usually used to move business along.

Attached is a chart that could be used if the council feels they would like to use additional motions of Parliamentary Procedure in their meetings.

A tie vote is a lost vote.

A main motion may be amended.

Nominations can be closed by saying, “I move to close nominations.”

Most motions are main motions.

A point of order is offered when there is some question if procedure had been followed correctly.

To stop debate or discussion on a motion and force the vote a member would say, “I move the previous
question.” This requires a second and a 2/3 vote.

Hasty action may be corrected by use of the motion to reconsider. This motion may be made only
by one who voted on the prevailing side.
